Visual Studio ONLY works well on Windows, the mac version is not the same, and certain features just does NOT work as well as the Windows version. And having a language tight down to an IDE which is tight down to a proprietary OS is a deal breaker for me! No matter how good it is these days with every killer feature of Rust and Lisp.

I would rather use a more raw unrefined version of tech that is open source. So my code and DX is not at wimp of some corporate over lord! And given MS's track record I do

C# with Rider is a more comprehensive experience than Rust + RA + VSC. C# in VSC is about on the same level with Rust regardless of the platform.

I always considered C#, F# and Rust as languages complementary to each other since each has their own distinct domain and use cases despite a good degree of overlap. Much less so than Java/Kotlin and Golang or any interpreted language (except Python and JS/TS in front-end) which are made obsolete by using the first three.
